Chapter 1118: with translation of chapter title
"I don't believe it either; I was holding the guidewire, while the boss placed a stent in the thoracic aorta and embolized the left hepatic artery. Then he performed an open abdominal surgery, removing the left half of the liver." Zheng Ren said.
"Done?" Director Kong exclaimed, he hadn't delayed any time, how did this side of the Shou Bing finish so quickly?
Zheng Ren did not answer, merely nodded his head wearily.
"How was the injury assessed?"
"Head injury, chest injury, preparing for a thoracotomy exploration. The left liver in the abdomen was ruptured and already removed. The spleen was ruptured and also removed. The intestinal tract had six ruptures, all repaired." Zheng Ren said: "Additionally, there was a thoracic aortic dissection, and I placed a stent."
"……" Director Kong stared in disbelief; if he hadn't personally seen Zheng Ren kneeling on the gurney and disappearing all the way, he would have doubted that he and Zheng Ren were talking about the same thing.
"Boss went all out, the double guidewires went down together." Su Yun stood to the side, speaking softly.
"Double guidewires? Simultaneous operation?"
As the director of the Interventional Medicine Discipline, Director Kong had never heard of such a technique.
"I don't believe it either; I was holding the guidewire, while the boss placed a stent in the thoracic aorta and embolized the left hepatic artery. Then he performed an open abdominal surgery, removing the left half of the liver." Zheng Ren said.
Director Kong remained speechless, really wondering if he himself was getting old.
Seeing Zheng Ren exhausted, he did not continue questioning, but instead stood behind Director Ma to watch the Shou Bing.
The thoracic surgery was relatively smooth; after opening the chest cavity, they saw congested lungs. The two intercostal arteries had ruptured and were already sutured. Currently, they are performing single-lung ventilation, rinsing with warm saline to locate the bleeding point.
The Shou Bing was performed extremely fast.
"Director Ma, be careful at the mediastinal position; Zheng Lao Ban said he placed an aortic stent." Director Kong reminded softly.
"Um……" Director Ma was stunned.
Upon receiving the news, just how late was it? By the time he arrived, not only had the abdominal cavity already been treated, but even the aortic dissection had a stent placed.
"Old Kong, go take a look at the images to confirm." Director Ma still had some doubts.
Director Kong nodded, glanced at Zheng Ren, and his heart was full of doubt, just like Director Ma's.
He knew Zheng Lao Ban was strong, could receive a Nobel Prize Nomination, could become a visiting professor at Mayo Clinic. But how could he be this strong?!
This kind of strength has already exceeded the bounds of normal medicine.
Double guidewire operation?
Director Kong shook his head, came to the operating room, and began searching for the images of the Shou Bing just performed.
He didn't even sit, bending his waist in front of the screen, looking at the images frame by frame. It wasn't that he didn't want to sit; Director Kong is already old, his waist has long had problems like disc protrusion, and he can't stay bent for too long.
But before he could sit down, he opened the screen, and as he watched from the beginning, what came into view was—double guidewires! Then Director Kong forgot about this matter.
Indeed, it really is double guidewires!
The two guidewires, one thick and one thin, were moving simultaneously in the femoral artery, approaching each other without affecting one another, never colliding or tangling.
It seemed as if two experts were simultaneously manipulating the guidewires, or as if the imaging data from two surgeries had been edited and overlaid; only then would Director Kong feel there was some possibility.
He forgot that he was still bent over, and just stared straight ahead rigidly.
The thick guidewire entered the abdominal aorta and went straight up to the thoracic aorta. Meanwhile, the microguidewire entered the hepatic artery and then proceeded super-selectively.
Soon, the stent and microcatheter were both delivered in. The speed was so fast that there was no thought of going easy to avoid disturbing the guidewire.
And the two guidewires stayed put in their positions, motionless, honestly and obediently, which was astonishing.
As the stent opened, the microcatheter also reached its position super-selectively. Director Kong shook his head straight, not because it was done poorly, but because it was done too well!
Director Kong's level is top-notch domestically, but he knows that if he were to do it, not mentioning double guidewires, even a single guidewire would absolutely not be done this fast, this steady.
This image data shows that Zheng Lao Ban's Interventional surgery level is definitely world-leading, without a doubt.
But his feeling didn't last long; the Shou Bing ended. The operator was very confident, not even sitting to do a final angiogram check, directly pulling out the guidewire and declaring the Shou Bing over.
Really……
Director Kong truly didn't know how to describe it; this Shou Bing performed, has it surpassed him by so much?
It's not surpassing, but rather his usual "minor" Shou Bing; Zheng Lao Ban has never displayed his true strength!
This is somewhat too unbelievable.
He quietly watched the screen; in the research on prostatic interventional embolization procedure, Zheng Ren showed some capability. But at that time Director Kong thought it was because Zheng Ren was young, had good eyesight, and steady hands, so he could manage it.
He still remembered that after clearing Lin JiaoJiao's ocular artery, he had also let Shen Boshi learn from Zheng Ren.
And after that, he went to Hai Cheng to recruit Zheng Ren, witnessed the busyness of Hai Cheng's emergency night, and also saw Zheng Ren's interventional level was superb. But at that time, the height he could see was not the kind that he himself could not look up to.
Then came the TIPS Surgery; Director Kong thought this was a new technique. Zheng Ren was indeed formidable, but perhaps because he was an interventional physician originating from the General Surgery Department.
To be genuinely convinced, only before this Shou Bing before him, with both hands manipulating guidewires, simultaneously performing two operations.
Even if he returned to his youth, he could not reach that level; Director Kong knows. Not even mentioning reaching Zheng Lao Ban's level, he couldn't even catch a glimpse of his shadow when looking up.
This is truly Zheng Lao Ban's real strength?
With this level, even the dead could be revived! Director Kong originally had no thought of competing with Zheng Ren for supremacy; his heart was only filled with awe and bewilderment. A turn of thought, and he was full of pride.
He straightened his waist, wanting to say something to Director Ma. But he didn't notice that he had been bent over for too long; his waist, his intervertebral disc made creaking sounds. His legs went weak, and he almost sat down on the ground.
"Director!" A nearby doctor grabbed Director Kong and held him up.
Director Kong leaned on his waist, gave a wry smile. He really was getting old; just watching such a short Shou Bing, his waist couldn't take it. The future belongs to Zheng Lao Ban.
He waved his hand, and was helped by other doctors into the Operating Room.
"Old Ma, the stent surgery was very successful; open it up and take a look. If you're unsure, find Zhao Yunlong to have a look."
"His Shou Bing was taught by me." Director Ma was displeased; no need to move the heart, just take a look—do we really need to call in a Thoracic person?
Nonsense.
Just finished exploring the left side of the chest cavity, he took hold of the Blunt Scissors and opened the mediastinum.
After a glance, Director Ma was stunned.
Opening the mediastinum, he starkly saw a hematoma as long as 8 cm on the thoracic aortic wall. The hematoma bulged, leaving only a thin outer layer of the thoracic aortic wall, which could rupture at any moment.
This is……an aortic dissection.
Sweat poured directly down Director Ma's forehead, "Call a Thoracic person over! Zhao Yunlong……call Old Gu over!"
"Director Ma, Zheng Lao Ban said, just now a stent was placed in the thoracic artery." Director Kong reminded again.
